Problem:
During the hot summer months, urban buildings face challenges with overheating, leading to excessive energy consumption for cooling systems like air conditioning. Additionally, dense urban areas lack sufficient green spaces, which could help mitigate the heat island effect and improve air quality.
Solution:
A motorized facade system, like the one proposed, addresses these challenges by integrating dynamic cooling and green features into building exteriors. Using Arduino-controlled modules with ultrasonic sensors and servo motors, the facade opens and closes based on proximity or environmental conditions, providing natural ventilation. The modules can store water in recycled plastic bottles for passive cooling or act as planters for greenery, transforming buildings into energy-efficient, sustainable, and visually appealing green facades.
